    This review is to share our experience with this orthodontic practice. For background, my husband…read moreand I both had braces and Invisalign about five years ago on the Peninsula, so we are familiar with orthodontic treatment and what it entails. Because we were paying out of pocket, I invested significant time and effort into researching the right orthodontist for our daughter. I felt it was important to make an informed decision and choose a provider who met the highest professional standards. I also have a professional (legal) background working with medical providers, so I was particularly impressed to learn that Dr. John Huang, the founder of San Leandro Orthodontics, is Board Certified and has more than 26 years of experience in the field--on top of the more than 10 years of education and training required to become a dentist, orthodontist, and board-certified specialist. Dr. Huang also holds a Doctorate in Oral Biology from Harvard University, which focuses on the biological mechanisms of tooth movement, growth and development, and bone metabolism. This level of expertise gave us great confidence in the care our daughter is receiving. When treatment began, we had several consultations with Dr. Huang due to the complexity of my daughter's case. Throughout the process, Dr. Huang's bedside manner was consistently top-notch, and we always felt informed, supported, and confident in his care. We are very satisfied with the results and attention to detail even after the braces have come off. We have regular follow-up visits and Dr. Huang is very keen on making sure our daughter is wearing the retainers and I am just so glad we came to this office. The level of attention is beyond anything I expected. I would give this practice more than five stars in all the areas that matter most to me: * Doctor/Orthodontist: * Cleanliness: * Staff (friendliness and professionalism): * Location: * Convenient and flexible appointments with reminders:

    I highly recommend San Leandro Orthodontics to friends and family! Dr. Huang and his team are…read morefriendly, gentle, and most importantly, provide top notch service! I had my braces work done back in 2018 with removal in 2020 and I immediately followed up with my son going through the process. He just had his braces removed today.

I compared several offices before making my decision, and now I really feel I picked the right one. My teeth situation was kind of complicated at first, but he used his professional skills to help me avoid extracting teeth. The price was also very reasonable, so the whole process made me feel comfortable and worth it. I can really feel that he thinks from patient side, not just choosing the fastest or easiest way. Thank you for your advice, patience, and amazing work. Now seeing the final result, both me and my family are very happy. Everyone says my smile looks much brighter and more confident than before. Really appreciate it so much!

    Ecstatic with the results!…read more I am not a fan of dentistry, at any level, due to endless bad experiences I've had since I can remember. Nevertheless, I have always wanted straight teeth and a decent smile. I interviewed/ consulted 3 different orthodontist, 2 of 3 brought up surgery procedures and appeared uncertain about taking on my case due to the difficulty level . Dr. Hosseini, on the other hand, welcomed the opportunity to put his experience and expertise to work- without surgery. The man is passionate about his craft and that was evident from the beginning and through out the treatment; often times dedicating personal-time to address any concerns. There is an expectation of a 2-way commitment to the treatment(s). There is no "overnight" results. Consistency is key and if for one reason or another these expectations changed, Dr. Hosseini was always open about discussing the status of the treatment, where in the process it stood and the on-going commitment he needed from me to get us to the finish line. Additionally, his office staff was always very nice, cordial and was always very clear in their communication with me. If you're looking to for an orthodontist, this is the place to go. No question about it.

I didn't have that experience at San Leandro Smiles and coming here was definitely worth the wait! The doctors and their wonderful staff treated me well throughout my treatment. I love how attentive to detail, caring and passionate Dr. Sexton, Hope, Felicia and Brittany all were. I got braces to go from liking my smile to loving my smile, and I can say mission accomplished as I was able to retain my characteristic gap!

Dr. Griggs office took away so much of the financial anxiety that I felt. The cost and contract was well explained and her future dental care was laid out. This office takes such good care of my daughter, who is 15. They explain things to her so that she doesn't feel overwhelmed having to care for her braces. They also completely worked with me even when I had gotten laid off, which was of course so unforeseen (I also had just had twins). The staff there is friendly and they actually care. Especially Robin! Robin is so good at her job because she has a BIG HEART. She is always so sweet when I call and never made me feel embarrassed about the payment plan that I needed to go on. Some folks can't wait to belittle you or talk rudely to you! Not Robin, she loves her clients! They also have excellent Covid-19 protocol and I feel comfortable with my daughter going into the establishment. If you are looking for an office, I highly recommend them. 5 stars all the way around. Many thanks to Dr. Griggs and his wonderful staff and a extra special thanks to Robin! God bless you guys!
